Damn I hate them! Nothing hurts quite like deadlifts. They're my most dreaded exercise, followed by lunges which I do right after squats to make them hurt even more. But I'm proud to say that I never skip them and I always push myself when doing them. Anyone else have one to share?
 
standing rows screw with me sometimes.. But I'm an old fart that has trashed his back on several occasions.. One very recent that I'm still having to be careful with...
 
I actually like deadlifts... I hate 21's (biceps), but do them anyway. Don't care for abs either. Hate lunges, but I don't do them.
 
I hate tying rods on a bridge deck..so I don't do it anymore :D
 
AH leg press man, every time i go for a nice and deep leg press I let loose a protein fart that not even a spotter can handle
 
Me, I love the old skool exercises like deadlifts, squats, presses--I just love all the power exercises.

If I had to say I had one favorite exercise it would be deadlifts. I think my max is 350-370 strict for one rep, with rep weight 245-300. I am not that big though, only 190, so not bad.

They may not be for everyone, but if you can master them, I guarantee they will turn you into a powerhouse animal!

Holy shit have you struck a nerve......I think I actually get sexually aroused just thinking about deadlifts. I had a particularly good session last week 135-10 reps; 225-10 reps; 315-10 reps; 405- 10 reps; 495-8 reps; and I ended with 585-2 reps. I had a previous 1RM of 600 lbs, but after pulling 585 for 2, I'm thinking I may be able to get 605 or 610. I dunno, I'm working back this Sat., maybe I'll try then.......
 
When I'm nice and fat (like now) I hate cardio. When I'm a liitle more cut I enjoy it. Lifting-wise I'd have to say squats, I have a troubled shoulder and it's very difficult to hold the bar - but I do them weekly anyways.
